Steven Soderbergh's intelligently crafted adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel is witty, sexy, thoroughly entertaining, and a star-making turn for George Clooney.

Wendy Ide Times (UK) It’s smart, slick and classy. Dec 15, 2022 Full Review Chuck Bowen Slant Magazine The film is a lark that develops an emotional undertow. Jun 30, 2022 Full Review Jay Boyar Orlando Sentinel Soderbergh understands the flaky, funny spirit of Leonard's characters and he gets his cast to express it. Rated: 4/5 Aug 4, 2013 Full Review Farah Cheded A Good Movie To Watch Clooney and Lopez’s naturally electric chemistry is supercharged by the fact that the film never slips into sentimentality, always keeping their will-they-won’t-they amour at a tantalizing distance until the decisive moment. Nov 4, 2023 Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net One of the strongest aspects of this film is the atmosphere and tone Soderbergh along with his cinematographer Elliot Davis creates. Rated: 8/10 Sep 5, 2023 Full Review Nicholas Bell Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Out of Sight might be one of the best under-the-radar titles of the late 1990s - a teasing showcase for what most of its participants would unleash in the decade to come. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 27, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Max V Jlo actually acts in this she had me believing she was FBI/US Marshall. Loved the part where she whacks the boxer. Little as she is. The chemistry between Clooney and Jlo smoulders. But who wouldn't with Clooney looking into your eyes. God he was beautiful in this. You forget he's well over pension age now. They make a great Duo, they should do more films together. That chemistry they have shouldn't be wasted. My only criticism. She gives him one too early in the story. I'd play with the chemistry longer like in the TV series Moonlighting. They would make a great good girl bad guy drama/cop series together. It would run and run. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review Thomas N Really, really bland. I don’t understand what people find entertaining about this movie. Original? A totally unbelievable main character, boring dialogue, endless scenes with not much going on at all. A cast of perfectly fine actors but come on, this is dull as ditchwater. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/31/24 Full Review Thomas M fantastic. couldn't ask for more from an Elmore Leonard adaptation. Soderbergh is one of the best and this was truly a starmaking performance from Clooney. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/30/24 Full Review Tom D Great original storyline, acting and directing. Only flaw is the title, it makes no sense at all. Better would have been calling it 'A tale of ties', standing for encarseration , gangster crews, love at first sight and the sibling bond between Buddy and his sister. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/15/24 Full Review Arnold D Jennifer Lopez was a pleasure to watch in this film, and George Clooney was also very complementary and on point. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/04/24 Full Review Tony S Great cast, good plot, enjoyable. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
